My new 4310!

Lawn is troublesome to say the least... I have a hilly, shaded property that does not lend itself to an expanse of turf.

My thought was to slowly remove the lawn and replace it with rock walls, moss gardens, water gardens, bogs, fens and waterfalls - hence the backhoe.

My horticultural interests lean to the extreme. How else could you describe a plot containing Saccharum arundinaceum (hardy sugar cane), cranberries, pitcher plants, musa basjoo (hardy banana) and various mosses? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

So... In time there will be more of that and less of the lawn. My dream is to be able to mow the lawn with my push mower in 10 minutes. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif Right now it takes 3 hours with that old tractor (before it broke and I was forced to use the push mower). That will change in a hurry with a large pond.

Thanks by the way for your past posts on the snowblower, it helped influence my purchase. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Well I can't spend all my time on the computer so I went out and put a few more hours on the 4310, 1 night hour. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

We had the 10th worst ice storm in 30 years last weekend, so there is plenty of clean up as you can imagine. I must have moved 4000lbs. of tree limbs and logs in the past few hours. Well, here's the pics...

Oh there's dirt on that bucket, you just can't see it with all the logs. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif My wife actually grabbed more seat time than me on the day it was delivered. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif There was this dirt pile in the turn around of our driveway left over from the summer and she was determined to get that mess out of there. Today I got to have fun. Put another 3 hours on.
